Hot in the City

I was in Phuket the past weekend. My gf, YDD, had a company trip and she invited me along. It was my first trip to Phuket and my second trip to Thailand. Can you believe it?!?

It was a package tour so we had to go to some places which I wasn't that interested in. On the first evening, we went to watch this Fantasea Show, which was held in a theme park filled with carnival games. It's the Thai version of Wildwood. Remember? The show was held in a mega theater. They had cultural performances which were boring. The most interesting part was the finale where they had around 20 elephants performing on the stage. We could touch the baby elephants before the show but I was, as always, too chicken to touch it. They also allowed us to take pictures with baby tigers. Scary!

The next day was filled with temple tours and catered shopping, which were boring activities. However, we went to take ATV (aka quad) rides in the afternoon. That was so much fun. We rode the ATV through the muddy field and jungle, up and down slopes.

We went to Phi Phi the next day. The snokeling was so fun. The fishes were so near me that it freaked me out at first. The fishes were so colorful. How I wish I have pictures to show you. However, the speedboat ride back to Phuket was horrifying. The sea was so rough; it was as if we were in the 'Perfect Storm' movie. The life jackets were all layed on the floor of the boat, so that we could all grab one in case something happened. Even the captain was nervous. The boat was literally flying into the air and landing hard on the sea. Imagine taking a roller-coaster ride for an hour or more with no island in sight and with not enough life jackets. All the passengers were so nervous.

This morning before I departed, we went for go-karting. That was lotsa fun too.

Oh, I also went to watch a Thai-girl show. I expected more 'action' but they disappointed me. One of the girl had such fake boobs. She didn't have a cleavage. Her boobs were stuck together! I should have taken a pic!
